A couple of challenges on Flickr

i'm taking some time today to catch up on a couple of challenges that are due by sunday night. i usually try and get them done right away, but i've been humming and hawing about what to make.
this first card is for the Hero Arts challenge from monday. they were playing with a travel theme and i wanted to make a second card to submit. my first one was quite playful so i went more serious and masculine with this one.
